Siege of Trellesh

The Siege of Trellesh or Battle of Trellesh was an engagement on Trellesh, a Corporate Alliance member planet situated in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. It was fought between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic beginning twelve days after the First Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY and reaching a conclusion two months later with a victory for the Republic.

The famed 237th Battalion participated in the siege, as was its commanding officer, CT-6821, nicknamed "Bind".

Landing on Trellesh
After successfully assaulting the planet's defense grid with V-19 Torrent starfighters, the task group under Jedi General Ves Maran began landing operations. Under heavy bombardment by a few remaining droid J-1 cannons, the Republic vessels touched down on the surface of Trellesh. Immediately after, thousands of clone troopers swarmed into the battle.

Capturing the Vo'raak
As the Republic forces fought tediously onward, it became more and more apparent to command that multiple shielded Core Ships were slowing their advance on the capital city of Trellesh.

The massive deflector shield over the Core Ships was found to be impenetrable by both AT-TE and HAAV/w fire. In light of this complication General Maran ordered that the foremost units in the 237th and 241st Battalions storm through the shields and capture the Vo'raak, the closest Core Ship. Aided by two HAAV/w Juggernauts designated Juggernaut 49 and Juggernaut 71 and several AT-TE walkers, the two clone battalions successfully entered the shielded area and swarmed the Vo'raak, taking it by force of arms and shutting down the deflector shield generator in the process.

Besieging the capital
Once the Core Ships were eliminated, the clone troops attacked Rindak, the capital city. However, several massive tri-cannons situated on a citadel in the center of the city pushed back the Republic advance for six weeks, during which hundreds of droid tanks and thousands of battle droids engaged clone forces in multiple intense firefights. After the clone commandos of Qek Squad arrived and eliminated the cannons, the Separatist defense crumbled and the capital was taken within a matter of hours.
